The zany, crazy excuse for a party and a few tattoos called the Single Speed Cyclocross World Championships (SSCXWC), founded by Portland’s Dani Dance, is getting ready for its annual return. Raleigh Bicycles has teamed up with the promoters to release a new, limited-edition SSCXWC frameset.

The shoes are the highest-end women’s MTB shoes offered by Giro, and come with carbon soles from Easton combined with a “breathable” microfiber that make the Sica a durable shoe for a long season in the mud.

WTB is a late entrant into the tubeless world, but it’s going all-in by expanding into the area of cyclocross. By our count, it becomes at least the seventh company to fully embrace cyclocross tubeless.

Gagne’s frame looks remarkably similar to the special edition Rocky Mountain carbon cyclocross frame raced by Geoff Kabush in 2011, but doesn’t resemble anything close to a production frame offered by Rocky Mountain.

Similar to the aluminum prototype Trek cyclocross bike Compton rode to another National title last year in Madison, though with her own custom National Champ paint scheme, the frame is now available to the masses as The Crockett.
